Xmas already, this year has gone so fast! We have thought a little about it. As we might be moving back to oz next year we dont want to be shipping alot of things back, so really im stuck as to what to get Ben. Still thinking. I dont want to give him just clothes, that's boring :-)
Nadine - I completely understand about the sentimental value of your doll. Ben loves to play with a toy dog of mine. It isnt that old (6 years) but i bought it the first time i arrived in Germany and It has been all over the world with me... I also have a toy Hippo that Dh gave me when i left Germany the first time... and ben loves to play with that too. No matter where i hide it, he always seems to find it.
I am so excited about Winter coming up! The weather is getting cold and frosty, i LOVE it! I just hope this winter has much more snow than last year. It makes me sad when i think that this might be my last Winter in Germany. This will be my 6th Winter here.
We went to playgroup yesterday. One girl can name all the other children! there are about 10 or 12. I think that's amazing! All the kids are the same age, give or take 2 months. Ben isnt anywhere near some of the other children with his speech. But he communicates well - nods for yes, shakes his head and says "Nononononono" for no. Thats very helpful. So I'm sure it's just the 2 languages confusing him. Plus, Im a pretty quiet person... and i noticed some of the other mums dont stop talking.
Wilson - I wish we had a backyard of our own. Our Backyard is shared with the people who own the house we live in (they live in the second and third storey). they have 2 girls 5 and 8, who are too much sometimes... I would really love a backyard that was just for us.
Ben loves books like H. It's funny because he can just sit for a long time and look at the same page. When you go to help him and turn the page he says "Nononononono" and turns back to the previous page he was staring at for the past 30 mins. I also sometimes find Ben "reading" the Tv pages, or even one of my novels. haha.
Hello everyone,
Sorry I dont log on much but time just flies and I find I spend so much of my time explaining what we are up to on Facebook that I get too tired to think of whats happening everywhere else. If anyone wants to find me on facebook let me know and I'll give you my details!!!
We are all wonderful. Allegra is getting so big - a real little girls and saying so many words its not funny, she is certainally a chatterbox like her mumma. We go to Montessori one day a week, swimming one morning and we try to get together with other mums and bubs at least once a week too.. plus i work one day a week so she spends time with both grandparents.
I keep getting asked when the next one is coming along but it wont be at least until next year. We have so much on in the next few months that a pregnancy wouldnt be ideal for us. I would like to be pregnanct and relaxed!!!!
Everyones bubs are getting so big too. I cant believe how time has flown. Allegra will be 2 in January and it just felt like yesterday she was born.
Chrsitmas - well, I am going to buy her a few toys not too many as she has tonnes and I kind of like her to be entertained more doing 'everyday' things like she gets tought at Montessori - you know like helping mummy with washing, in the kitchen. Stuff that develops her goss motor skills more than just for entertainment value IYKWIM?
Hope you all are wonderful - good to hear about upcoming bubbas
